I don't follow baseball, or any sport for that matter, but I wanted to chime in to all my Dis friends in this thread that I'm very, very happy for you all. The excitement must be thrilling for you.

Thanks Ron.

All you have to do is follow the Cubs, Bears, Blackhawks and Bulls.

My DH has been out of town for a few days so I've been on touch up paint duty. Yesterday 2 different cars stopped while I was painting. Even a man wearing a Sox jacket stopped and backed his car up to say Go Cubs!
DH wasn't supposed to be back until late tomorrow but he changed plans to be home before the start of the game.

IT'S OFFICIAL..SCHWARBER IS ON THE ROSTER!



Listed as catcher/outfielder

Kyle Schwarber has been included on the #Cubs' World Series roster. Rob Zastryzny is off of it


ALL our catchers have homered in the Playoffs, just sayin'

 

[FINFAN]

I am not sure if any other WS team has carried 4 catchers.

Now, Schwarb's on the Roster, but line-up won't be out for a bit. However, Kyle DOES have dang good numbers against the Indians
per
Carrie Muskat ‏
#Cubs Schwarber 6-for-9 vs Indians in June 2015 with 3B, HR, 4 RBI. Only problem now is finding enough tix for Ohio family and friends


Kyle ONLY cleared for DH, not field. However, should be cleared to PH at Wrigley

 

[FINFAN]

Fans start arriving at Wrigleyville

It appears that the feeling is that the Series will be 5 games, based on the starting prices (standing room only) on StubHub.

I'm working on getting my pictures from my phone to Photobucket. In the meantime, prepare to cry like a little girl ...

 

[Deb & Bill]

Dang, I hate listening to Joe Buck ramble, ramble, ramble.

I listen to Pat and Ron on the MLB at bat app. It's a tiny bit ahead of Fox (it was behind FS1).
